Hybrid reverb what is it good for?

It's for color and more color. Think to yourself, What do I need now? Low end top end? A bloop or bleep? Hybrid reverb is there to give you those choices. With the standard reverb it's more of a mi...

Label or self release

Couple of questions bring this to a simple answer of yes or no.  

1. Do I like looking at statistics, reaching out, making playlists and a bit of admin? (If yes go for your own label) View Post

Felipe, will it work in a club?

Yes, it will work perfectly fine. Just adjust the eq on the master and add a bit of verb to the top end of the drums. Also, quickly check if your song translates in mono. If it does not.. you need ...

Seamus with Avicci as a reference

It's close but a few more tweaks are needed. Try out those tricks mentioned in the beginning and focus on getting the low end of the kick drum to punch through in the drops.

La Giang's mix (not the one from YouTube)

It's perfectly fine the way it is but a few notes. How important is mono compatibility for you? If you do not care then don't take note. If you do, please consider panning vs wideners.

Go for option 1 if Whebba does not play the artist otherwise go for option 2. If option 2 is the same as the intended reference song than you are a bit screwed. Production wise I would adjust atlea...

About the video Darragh posted the threshold=the compression knob in his video. Now about the attack release timing.

what's my favorite color eq?

I don;t have one. I suggest figuring out what the concept is behind an eq and using saturation for color.

Focussing your production

Try to set a goal. A creative without a goal can end up anywhere. This way you stay in a constant void of mediocre productions.

Mixing with a limiter on the master?

Do what you need to do in your creative process. Be yourself as much as possible. However, two things are needed to be taken into consideration. Number 1, make rules for yourself and or a goal othe...

MGMT Kids sound design

Well, this one truly made me think. It's a 90's "crap" gear mixing which is a mix between digital and analogue boxes. The mix definitely makes the sound and not the other way around. But what exact...

Sampler vs Dragging and dropping sound. Is there a difference?

Oddly enough there is a difference. I think it's do to the fact that sampler is a "sampler" as there is a slight pitch difference. 

Is this difference enough to make or break a song? No,...

It all depends on what you need to record. If you don't record and just mix get just a volume knob. (I have the Kii controller and that's it). If you do record think of what you record, instruments...

Goa and Merengue

It's a hard one for me to comment on as it could be seen as "art" due to the space the music lives in. The space being the reverb and floaty bleeps and bloops. If it is for an art installation or y...
